Because in this particular scenario there’s zero functional difference, even if in the only slightly more general, there is an absolutely huge difference. In the specifics of the implementation, the ethical details are the same. In the more general, quite different. And that’s sort of the point.

It’s not more unethical than the work of countless corporate ad (and otherwise) engineering hours focused on the Wonder of the World that is surveillance capitalism.
